The Affordable Care Act is more than a Web site. That is the comforting assurance President Obama is giving to the American people as the continuing train wreck of his law's implementation grinds on. The law is more than a Web site. Unfortunately, that means its flaws extend past the Web site as well. It is bad technology mixed with bad policy. Each day we hear more and more people losing plans they liked despite the President's promise they could keep them. Recently, I spoke with Scott Randolph, a self-employed father of two in my district, who is feeling the harmful effects head-on. Scott received this notice in the mail that said his insurance plan, which he liked and which worked for him and his two sons, was going to be terminated and replaced with a similar plan at triple the cost. I think Scott said it best when he said: The President guaranteed me, ``If you like your plan, you can keep it.'' Well, the fact is, I can keep my plan; I just can't afford my plan now. Mr. President, this is unacceptable. Period. Let's pass the Keep Your Health Plan Act and offer help to the millions of Americans hurt by this broken promise. ____________________
